Google Music is no different and we’re pleased to see what the search giant has done with it.

You Just Got Boot Blocked
Guess what Verizon did today. They blocked the boot loader of the Motorola Razr. That makes hacking the thing pretty close to impossible. When you think about it, Google owns Motorola now so the choice of unlocking the boot loader could change. Since "Motorola Droid Razr" is a Verizon name they have the choice of doing what they want. Other than Verizon, the Motorola Razr has an unlocked boot loader on other carriers. Verizon could change like HTC did you never know.
